This book takes the medical student through the steps of a basic clinical examination. The authors, who have many years of experience coaching candidates for undergraduate and postgraduate examinations, stress the significance of important steps and relevant signs, highlight common errors, and provide useful advice to guide the student through the morass of information that is apt to trap the unguided. The book also takes the student through typical exam cases, providing answers to ‘favourite examiners’ questions’ and insights into the examiners’ perspective
